Early life and education

Born Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France, he grew up in Bohain-en-Vermandois in Northeastern France, where his parents owned a seed business. Le Cateau-Cambrésis is a commune in northern France, in the Nord département. Nord-Pas de Calais (French Nord-Pas de Calais; Dutch Noord-Nauw van Kales) is one of the 26 regions of France. This article is about the country For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic France topics. Bohain-en-Vernandois is a commune in the department of Aisne in Picardie in northern France. He was their first son. In 1887 he went to Paris to study law, working as a court administrator in Le Cateau-Cambrésis after gaining his qualification. Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city Le Cateau-Cambrésis is a commune in northern France, in the Nord département. He first started to paint in 1889, when his mother had brought him art supplies during a period of convalescence following an attack of appendicitis. Appendicitis (or epityphlitis) is a condition characterized by Inflammation of the appendix. He discovered "a kind of paradise" as he later described it,[2] and decided to become an artist, deeply disappointing his father. [3][4] In 1891 he returned to Paris to study art at the Académie Julian and became a student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Moreau. The Académie Julian was an Art school in Paris, France. Rodolphe Julian established the Académie Julian in 1868 at the Passage William-Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30 1825 – August 19 1905 was a French academic painter. Gustave Moreau ( April 6, 1826 &ndash April 18, 1898) was a French Symbolist painter. Initially he painted still-lifes and landscapes in the traditional Flemish style, at which he achieved reasonable proficiency. This article is about Still Life (or still lifes as plural the art form Flemish painting flourished from the early 15th century until the 17th century Chardin was one of Matisse's most admired painters; as an art student he made copies of four Chardin paintings in the Louvre.

The Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre located in Paris is the world's most visited art museum a historic monument and a national museum of France [5] In 1896 he exhibited 5 paintings in the salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and the state bought two of his paintings. Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts ( SNBA) was the term under which two groups of French artists united the first for some exhibitions in the early 1860s the second since 1890 [6] In 1897 and 1898, he visited the painter John Peter Russell on the island Belle Île off the coast of Brittany. John Peter Russell ( 16 June 1858 - 22 April 1930) was an Australian impressionist painter Belle-Île or Belle-Île-en-Mer ( ar Gerveur in Modern Breton)— Guedel in Old Breton—is a French Island off the Brittany (Breizh bʁejs Bretagne; Gallo: Bertaèyn) is a former independent Celtic kingdom and Duchy, now incorporated into Russell introduced him to Impressionism and to the work of Van Gogh (who had been a good friend of Russell but was completely unknown at the time). Impressionism was a 19th-century Art movement that began as a loose association of Paris -based Artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s Matisse's style changed completely, and he would later say "Russell was my teacher, and Russell explained colour theory to me. Color Theory is the musical alter ego of American singer-keyboardist-songwriter Brian Hazard "[4]

Influenced by the works of the post-Impressionists Paul Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Paul Signac, and also by Japanese art,[7] he made colour a crucial element of his paintings. Post-Impressionism is the term coined by the British artist and Art critic Roger Fry in 1910 to describe the development of French art since Manet. Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903 was a leading Post-Impressionist painter. Paul Signac ( November 11, 1863 – August 15, 1935) was a French neo-impressionist painter who working with Japanese art covers a wide range of art styles and media including ancient pottery sculpture in wood and bronze ink painting on silk and paper and a myriad of other types of works of Many of his paintings from 1899 to 1905 make use of a pointillist technique adopted from Signac.

His first solo exhibition was in 1904,[7] without much success. His fondness for bright and expressive colour became more pronounced after he moved southwards in 1905 to work with André Derain and spent time on the French Riviera. André Derain ( June 10, 1880 – September 8, 1954) was a French painter and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse The French Riviera (Côte d'Azur Occitan: Còsta Azzura) is one of the most famous resort areas in the world extending along the Mediterranean Sea west The paintings of this period are characterized by flat shapes and controlled lines, with expression dominant over detail.

In 1905, Matisse and a group of artists now known as "Fauves" exhibited work together in a room at the Salon d'Automne. Les Fauves ( French for The Wild Beasts) were a short-lived and loose grouping of early In 1903 the first Salon d'Automne (Autumn Salon was organized by Georges Rouault, André Derain, Henri Matisse and Albert Marquet as a Critic Louis Vauxcelles described the work with the phrase "Donatello au milieu des fauves!" (Donatello among the wild beasts), referring to a Renaissance-type sculpture that shared the room with them. Louis Vauxcelles (1870-1943 was an influential French art critic Donatello ( Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi; c 1386 &ndash December 13, 1466) was a famous early Renaissance Italian The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth" Italian: Rinascimento, from re- "again" and nascere [8] His comment was printed on 17 October 1905 in Gil Blas, a daily newspaper, and passed into popular usage.

Camille Faust (1872–1945 better known by his pseudonym Camille Mauclair, was a French poet novelist biographer travel writer and art critic [8] The painting that was singled out for attacks was Matisse's Woman with a Hat, which was bought by Gertrude and Leo Stein: this had a very positive effect on Matisse, who was suffering demoralization from the bad reception of his work. Gertrude Stein ( February 3, 1874 &ndash July 27, 1946) was an American Writer who spent most of her life in France Leo Stein (born 1872 in Allegheny Pennsylvania; died July 29, 1947, in Florence Italy) was an American art collector and critic [8]

Matisse was recognized as a leader of the group, along with André Derain; the two were friendly rivals, each with his own followers. André Derain ( June 10, 1880 – September 8, 1954) was a French painter and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse Other members were Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy and Maurice Vlaminck. Georges Braque ( May 13, 1882 &ndash August 31, 1963) was a major 20th century French painter and sculptor Raoul Dufy ( 3 June 1877 – 23 March 1953) was a French Fauvist painter Maurice de Vlaminck ( April 4, 1876 &ndash October 11, 1958) was a French painter. The Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau was the movement's inspirational teacher, and he did much for the era; a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he pushed his students to think outside of the lines of formality and to follow their visions. Gustave Moreau ( April 6, 1826 &ndash April 18, 1898) was a French Symbolist painter. École des Beaux-Arts ("School of Fine Arts" refers to a number of influential Art schools in France.

In 1907 Appolinaire, commenting about Matisse in an article published in La Falange, said, "We are not here in the presence of an extravagant or an extremist undertaking: Matisse's art is eminently reasonable.

[4] His controversial 1907 painting Nu bleu was burned in effigy at the Armory Show in Chicago in 1913. Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra ("Nu bleu Souvenir de Biskra" is a 1907 oil painting by Henri Matisse. Many exhibitions have been held in the vast spaces of US National Guard armories, but the Armory Show refers to the International Exhibition [11]

The decline of the Fauvist movement, after 1906, did nothing to affect the rise of Matisse; many of his finest works were created between 1906 and 1917, when he was an active part of the great gathering of artistic talent in Montparnasse, even though he did not quite fit in, with his conservative appearance and strict bourgeois work habits. Montparnasse is an area of Paris, France, on the left bank of the river Seine, centred on the intersection of the Boulevard du Montparnasse

Matisse had a long association with the Russian art collector Sergei Shchukin. Sergei Ivanovich Shchukin Сергей Иванович Щукин (27 May 1854 Moscow – 10 January 1936 Paris) was a Russian businessman who became an art collector He created one of his major works La Danse specially for Shchukin as part of a two painting commission, the other painting being Music, 1909. Matisse painted an extra (second) version of La Danse that is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

The subjects painted most frequently by both artists were women and still lifes, with Matisse more likely to place his figures in fully realized interiors. This article is about Still Life (or still lifes as plural the art form Matisse and Picasso were first brought together at the Paris salon of Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas.

During the first decade of the 20th century Americans in Paris Gertrude Stein, her brothers Leo Stein, Michael Stein and Michael's wife Sarah were important collectors and supporters of Matisse's paintings. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Leo Stein (born 1872 in Allegheny Pennsylvania; died July 29, 1947, in Florence Italy) was an American art collector and critic In addition Gertrude Stein's two American friends from Baltimore Clarabel and Etta Cone became major patrons of Matisse and Picasso, collecting hundreds of their paintings. The Cone collection is now exhibited in the Baltimore Museum of Art. The Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore Maryland, was founded in 1914 [12]

His friends organized and financed the Académie Matisse in Paris, a private and non-commercial school in which Matisse instructed young artists. It operated from 1911 until 1917. Hans Purrmann and Sarah Stein were amongst several of his most loyal students. Hans Marsilius Purrmann ( April 10, 1880 &ndash April 17, 1966) was a German Artist.

This "return to order" is characteristic of much art of the post-World War I period, and can be compared with the neoclassicism of Picasso and Stravinsky, and the return to traditionalism of Derain. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Neoclassicism (sometimes rendered as Neo-Classicism or Neo-classicism) is the name given to quite distinct movements in the decorative and Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский) ( &ndash 6 April 1971 was a Russian born Composer, considered by many to André Derain ( June 10, 1880 – September 8, 1954) was a French painter and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse His orientalist odalisque paintings are characteristic of the period; while popular, some contemporary critics found this work shallow and decorative.

With the aid of assistants he set about creating cut paper collages, often on a large scale, called gouaches découpés. His Blue Nudes series feature prime examples of this technique he called "painting with scissors"; they demonstrate the ability to bring his eye for colour and geometry to a new medium of utter simplicity, but with playful and delightful power.

In 1947 he published Jazz, a limited-edition book containing prints of colorful paper cut collages, accompanied by his written thoughts. Jazz (1947 is a book of about In the 1940s he also worked as a graphic artist and produced black-and-white illustrations for several books.
